Judy Garland would be so proud of her daughter

Imagine getting PAID to sit in an intimate setting and be an audience member witnessing Liza's filmed perfomaces for this film.

It is made on purpose. This is a a song about desperation, yet it sounds happy and cheerful, just like everything Liza's character does. This is all Sally's life is about: singing and having fun, without thinking about tomorrow, because life's too short to be taken seriously. After all, life is a cabaret.

i love how imperfect she is and how torn down but she just says fuck it, and creates her own wonders. i truly admire her.

Wow, the way she transforms that seedy little club into an encore performance on the world stage is nothing short of amazing.

Watching this while sitting all alone in my room.

So much passion and commitment to a role, Liza Minelli gives her all and the result is a performance to remember. I've seen the movie forty years ago and I still remember Sally Bowles in "Cabaret". Liza Minelli gives one of the best performances ever captured on film. Truly, Bob Fosse's masterpiece!

Kander and Ebb actually wrote this for Liza Minnelli for Broadway but backers refused to put an unknown into such a big part in a major musical. Some years later, after her Oscar nomination for the Sterile Cuckoo and after everyone else turned it down, she got the part. It still holds the record for movie with most Oscar wins without winning Best Picture, but of course, it was against the Godfather. What's amazing is how well it hasn't aged. And Bob Fosse is such a remarkable director. Every frame in the movie looks like a piece of art with the movie made on a shoestring budget. I can only imagine how good Chicago would have been if it had made with Liza and Goldie Hawn and directed by Mr. Fosse.

In the 70's me and my friends went to dance and drama classes, and all we wanted was to be like this. This song makes the hairs on the back of my back stand up! We learned all the songs and dreamt of being on Broadway or the West End.

I think it really does show her emotional pain. I always find it a very affecting scene and love how she gets the emotion into her voice, face, singing, and even her dancing.

I have seen this movie many times and it is every dark. Except when she is on stage, the she shines. Being on stage is taking a break from reality.

Sheer Gold. She is flawlessly incredible. The script fits her like a glove. Bravo. Her parents should be so, so, so proud.

Liza makes any song memorable. What an amazing talent!

My brothers stayed unable to see where it would all lead. I left . They perished. I had a life they could not have imagine. Now I am a survivor, old but grateful for my life.

I have loved Liza's performance in this movie for many years. I also had the privilege of seeing the second Broadway company that starred Joel Grey doing the original version of the show. I've watched many different actors and actresses in the updated version. I like many of them. To truly understand the emotional state that Sally has reached at this point you need to watch the different versions. Liza has the energy in hers but the newer Broadway version concentrates more on Sally's emotional state. Here is a fairly young woman who wanted to be a star and hopefully fall in love. She reached for the brass ring and missed. She's had an abortion which even under the best of circumstances back then was highly dangerous. She entered into a love affair and ultimately ended up losing them both. She is a booze and probably drug induced mess. As she sings This song she is basically saying "Screw You World! I'm going to live life and go out on my own terms." Also underneath all this Sally is probably terrified of what is happening in Germany as the Nazis take over. The German people saw what was beginning to happen around them but didn't want to believe it would happen to them. Somewhere inside her I think she knows many of her friends could end up disappearing because many of the people in the Cabaret are for the most part homosexuals, Transvestites, and others that were eventually persecuted first. The Nazis targeted mental hospitals, the LGBT community, anyone with a physical deformity, etc. first. They were rounded up and either euthanized or sterilized so they couldn't reproduce. If I was Sally I'd probably be a mess too.

Just watched the full movie today. Man Liza was fantastic in it. I loved her as Sally. Brilliant film.

Her mom Judy and her are two in a hundred billion talent unbelievable I love them and always will ❤💜💜 forever

You can see a bit of sadness because the story is sad . Cabaret was the only way in Germany during this period to forget the trouble . The war . The death ....

Most talented artist Acting, dancing singing all perrrrfffeeeeecccttttt. God bless her 💓💓💓

I think, she really got all the feeling you need in this performance. First, it's the wonderful actress who can overcome every sad emotion in a few seconds just when the stage light is put on and you can only see some sadness in her eyes.... but then at 2:03 she shows the perfect breakdown of Sally...it's so great!

Im singing this song for a solo in class....every time i listen to liza sing it there goes my confidence hahaha

She's a real talent!

Liza is outstanding in this!!!!

Played at my dear friend's funeral this afternoon. RIP, Suzi. X

I never want to forget this. I need it tattooed.

You can see she's breaking down. But this is her farewell message, she wants to go out with a bang, which contrasts with her feelings but it reflects the theme of the movie - life is a cabaret, a silly, entertaining show.

love Liza ,nobody come near how great she is

The most beautiful song from a musical!! I'd like to see it on stage! Happy late birthday #LizaMinnelli!

There's also a parallel between the songs being performed inside the cabaret and what's going on outside of it. For instance, the song 'Money' comes up right after Sally meets the wealthy Maximillian, and 'Two Ladies' is a parody of the triangle between Sally, Max, and Brian.

World class pipes.

I first saw this movie when I was 12 and loved it. If you like this, it means you have good taste. Broadway is awesome.

Liza has the most beautiful back, shoulders. Gorgeous!

I watched it in Austin. Still miss Sally Bowen. Although the end wasn't happy. Lisa's performance was more than the ending! Michael was also amazing.

I love this movie. Been tryin to get my hands on it for a while. Saw it when i was like 6/7 and loved it since.

This song gets me through life's hard parts. Thanks!

Anyone else notice that she has the same green nail polish through the whole movie? LOL. I love her! This is one of my favorites!

any cabaret, especially german, explored talent, pure talent...if you have ever spent an evening in one....if you cannot sing, dance, play an instruement, tell a good joke -- then buy a ticket in and enjoy those who can! HAAJAA...;-)))

Una película excepcional y una Liza Minelli enorme en su actuación y su voz.

Exactly! ^_^ At the start of the film in "Willkommen" they even say to "leave your troubles outside", & that in the cabaret "life is beautiful". While they mostly address the issues "off stage", they do still address it "on stage" as well with the scene where the dancers become troops.

It's sad to see her today how life just ripped her apart... I really enjoyed her... fears say that this is for year coming up

Best film forever

Enchanting the whole world .Thank you

Una excelente descripción expresionista de la Alemania de Weimar y, a través de ella, de la naturaleza humana en abstracto.

True British and American gem ❤❤

Love you, Liza. You go!

Clarinet player in Cabaret. I can already tell this show is going to be a rewarding challenge!

I really really like this song!!! Though I’m a Japanese high school girl 大好きです！

Thank you Geri Halliwell for bringing me here.

Liza... totally awesome!!!

Isteni film, isteni színészekkel!! Nem tudom megunni :) Köszönöm, hogy láthattam...

'Im only '....' and I love this song.' Can u not. We dont care about your age tbh. We care about the song. Thats why we're all on this page!

A Force of Nature. Stunning.

"What good is sitting alone In your room? Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret. Put down the knitting, The book and the broom. It's time for a holiday. Life is a Cabaret, old chum Come to the Cabaret. Come taste the wine, Come hear the band. Come blow a horn, Start celebrating; Right this way, Your table's waiting.

Maybe it is a bit subtle, but film acting is usually more subtle than theatre acting (basically because it can be, as acting for a camera is often up close & personal while in a theatre it has to carry across distance) & it is all there if you just look. I personally think the start of her breakdown in this song is incredibly heartfelt & realistic. (I work in mental health & know a bit about breakdowns from experience; personal & professional, & have always thought she did this very well.)

awesomeLiza has tons of charm and talent like mom

UNA GENIA. TIENE MUY BUENOS GENES.ELENA

I love this song!

Great performance!

They did the caberet play at my school :3

Wonderfull, just wonderfull

Pouco dança, mais sabe cantar e tem PRESENÇA de palco: Liza Minelli é um espetáculo no filme Cabaret, de Bob Fosse. Essa cena musical no final de tal filme, é excelente!👍

Fantastic!

liza minnelii must have had a lot of super fun doing this song

Stunning vibrato

キャバレーの代表曲。やはりライザミネリの歌唱力は抜群ですね。

Soberbia lo mejor de la excelencia en su tiempo admirable por siempre

Probably I shouldn't sit in my room doing nothing if I'm listening to this song.

Wow , what a voice!!

Is it weird that i like this at 14 years old

AWESOMENESS LOVE Liza Minnelli FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE GREAT MUSIC VIDEO UPLOAD YESS THUMBS UP MUST WATCH I ENJOY , THANKYOU MY DEAR LOVELY FRIEND FOR SHARING THIS WITH US ilpanelerose BRAVOOO XD TOTAL EPIC CLASSIC WONDERFUL WARM GREETINGS FROM ENGLAND MY DEAREST BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS & FAMILY WISHING YOU ALL A BLESSED FRUITFUL JOLLY DAY AHEAD SENDING SMILES MY LOVE & LIGHT NAMASTE BIG WARM HUGS FROM THE HEART & SWEET BUTTERFLY KISSES XXXXXXX

That's the point. They were ignoring the ugly truth of life outside of the club. Couldn't or didn't want to deal with it. The songs are to take them out of the moment, not a 'mistake.'

Like mother, like daughter.

Wunderbar!

Marvelous!

meravigliosa!

2:05 she looks so much like her mother

There is life and there is death and there is this? Quite simply life affirming! What more is there to say?

I'm sixteen and I love this, singin' in the rain, The Sound of music, My fair lady etc,etc,etc... Feel like Rachel Berry

watching her i get why old ladies dance the way they do... she reminds me of ms hannagan from annie.

Absolutely! Good point! ^_^ You'll also find that the brilliant; "If you could see her through my eyes" cuts directly to Fritz who has clearly fallen in love with Natalia. (Poor Fritz.) But as a side note, my absolute favourite Kit Kat dancer; Helga, (played by Louise Quick) was not only one of the girls in "Two Ladies" but also danced as the gorilla! ^_^ She said it was damn near impossible to see with the mask on, & she had to rehearse with a paper bag on her head so she could do it blind!

Es el himno se mi vida// this is the hymn of my life

Magical…

Tolle Frau! Beautyfull!

Absolute doll.

Po obejrzeniu filmu Kabaret byłam oczarowana Liza Minnellii i oczywiście filmem

She owns it , nailed it right thru

歌声最高です……この時代素晴らしい(๑ ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ^ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ ๑) 😭

Liza is everything

Ah, the good old days.

In the original Broadway play, Sally was (rightly) depicted as a sociopath. Just like the emerging German Nazis, she marched through people's hearts with no regard. When Jill Hayworth sang this song, she truly meant every word. Hollywood sanitized it, and gave Ms. Minnelli a conscience for the timid of heart cinema crowd.

incredible!!!!..=DDDD

happiest corps как это правдиво человек становится счастливым, только когда умирает и он всегда несчастен, пока живет

I think she's beautiful I love her hair in this movie/musical

Mr Cohen: "What good is sitting in your room"? Ol' chum. COME OUT AND JOIN THE CABARET...

Liza the legend!

huh, watched this at Studio 54!

Life is a cabaret...

Люблю её!

You got it!
